EndingPoverty&FeedingaGrowingPopulation
• 75% of the world’s poor live in rural areas,
most are involved in farming.
• Food production must increase by at least
50% to feed 9 billion people by 2050.
• Ending extreme poverty and boosting shared
prosperity cannot be achieved without more
and better investment in agriculture, food
security, and nutrition.
Tackling Climate Change
• Agriculture is vulnerable to climate change
and it is, with associated deforestation, the
largest contributor to greenhouse gases.
• Agriculture can also help to stop a 4°C warmer
world – it is the only sector that can suck car-
bon out of the atmosphere.
• Climate Smart Agriculture has the potential to
deliver a “triple win” of increased productivi-
ty, enhanced resilience, and lower emissions
Global Engagements
• The Global Agriculture and Food Security Pro-
gram (GAFSP) supports country-led agriculture and
food security plans and helps to promote invest-
ments, especially for smallholder farmers (approx.
$1.3 billion pledged over three years).
• The Global Climate Smart Agriculture Alliance
promotes the application of scientific solutions,
information and policies conducive to increased and
sustainable agricultural production, while increasing
resilience, reducing emissions, and capturing car-
bon.
• The Global Food Safety Partnership is delivering a
five-year program for training and capacity develop-
ment, supported by both public and private sources.
• The Consultative Group on International Agricul-
tural Research (CGIAR) is dedicated to reducing
rural poverty, increasing food security, improving
human health and nutrition, and ensuring more sus-
tainable management of natural resources (approx.
$1 billion per year)..
The World Bank Group’s Role
• The WBG is by far the largest provider of
development finance for agriculture glob-
ally. Other MDBs have largely moved out
of agriculture and UN technical agencies
don’t have the means to finance transfor-
mational change.
• As a multilateral, multisectoral institution,
the WBG is uniquely positioned to support
farm-to-fork integrated landscape solu-
tions with IBRD/IDA’s policy, productivity,
smallholder focus and IFC’s support for the
agribusiness sector.
• The WBG can help increase agricultural
productivity and farm income, especially
for smallholders and women producers,
through sustainable landscapes approach-
es and transformational engagements such
as Climate Smart Agriculture.
• The WGB can help link farmers to markets
to increase food availability and stimu-
late general economic growth by using a
value-chain approach including on-farm
inputs, land, water, financial services and
post-harvest/agro-processing.
• The WBG can work with governments
to: reduce risks and increase resilience
through more effective (and gender-sensi-
tive) policies that achieve better food and
nutrition security; promote responsible
agricultural investment and new risk man-
agement tools; reduce post-harvest losses;
and improve human health by reducing
zoonotic diseases and improving food
safety.

Education is a powerful driver of development
and one of the strongest instruments for
reducing poverty, raising incomes, promoting
economic growth and shared prosperity, and
for improving health, gender equality, peace,
and stability. It is also central to the devel-
opment strategies of all WBG clients. With 57
million children not in school today and 250
million more not acquiring basic skills neces-
sary for work and life, ending extreme poverty
and boosting shared prosperity depend on
more and better investments in quality educa-
tion and learning.
The WBG is a global leader in education, es-
pecially in building evidence for a systems ap-
proach to education reforms and investments,
a position it can retain into the foreseeable
future. WBG clients and development partners
view the WBG as a source of cutting-edge
knowledge, a convener of critical dialogue,
and a financier of innovative operations. Qual-
ity education and learning also align the WBG
with the post-2015 education agenda.
Being visible in education makes the WBG a
credible champion of its twin goals. The WBG’s
work in education, guided by the Education
Global Practice’s strategy, Learning for All,
helps meet these goals by building more rele-
vant skills for productivity and employment,
better health and more education for future
generations, and better citizenship and stew-
ardship of natural resources.
The Education Global Practice helps clients achieve
Learning for All through financing, knowledge
services, and strategic partnerships designed to
enable children to learn and create the human
capital to reduce poverty, accelerate growth, and
boost shared prosperity.
At the country level, the Education Global Practice
is supporting a systemic, equitable, and inclusive
approach to education reform across all levels of
schooling, from early childhood education to work-
force training and tertiary education; as well as
across all contexts, from fragile settings to high-in-
come economies. It is also promoting innovative
solutions to improve the delivery of education
services, including through learning measurement,
multisectoral approaches, and public-private
partnerships.
At the global level, the mandate of the Education
Global Practice is:
• Building effective education systems, including
through SABER (the Systems Approach for Better
Education Results).
• Creating and deploying global knowledge,
including through EdStats, learning assessment,
STEP (Skills Toward Employment and Productiv-
ity) Measurement, Impact Evaluation (including
the Strategic Impact Evaluation Fund, SIEF), the
Simulation for Equity in Education (SEE), and the
Out-of-School Children Initiative.
• Developing the capacity to deliver, including
through ESDP (Education Staff Development
Program) and strategic partnerships including
multilateral, bilateral, and CSOs. For example,
the Global Partnership for Education, UK, Austra-
lia, and Russia, the Children’s Investment Fund
Foundation, Arab World Initiative, Building Evi-
dence in Education (BE2), IWGE, Early Childhood
Consultative Group, Global Compact on Learning
Donor Network, Inter-Agency Network for Educa-
tion in Emergencies, Learning Metrics Task Force,
and UN agencies (UNESCO, UNICEF).

Providing reliable electricity to the un-
served and inadequately-served people of
the world is central to efforts to eradicate
extreme poverty and create shared pros-
perity.
• Poverty Reduction: Energy is a key input
to economic growth needed to end ex-
treme poverty, while extractives generate
substantial revenues for poverty reduc-
tion and socio-economic development.
• Shared Prosperity: Universal access
to affordable, reliable, and sustainable
energy is key for ensuring economic op-
portunity and prosperity. The extractives
sector, if managed well, can boost shared
prosperity through co-development of
infrastructure, local economic develop-
ment, skills, and jobs.
• Sustainability and Climate Change: An
environmentally and socially responsible
approach to energy and extractives is
critical to attain sustainability objectives.
The energy sector contributes about
40% of global CO2 emissions, making the
transition to a more sustainable energy
mix critical for climate change mitigation.
World Bank Group energy teams play a
critical role in this process.
• Sustainable Energy for All: The WBG’s
co-leadership (with the UN) of the Sus-
tainable Energy for All Initiative leverages
support for clients to achieve their 2030
goals:
• Universal access to modern energy
services.
• Double the rate of improvement in
energy efficiency.
• Double the share of renewable energy
in the global mix.
The Energy & Extractives GP delivers com-
prehensive energy and extractive industry
solutions .
Energy: Financing program of around $7
billion per year, complemented by Climate In-
vestment Fund operations, a sizable Technical
Assistance program, and a strong track record
of One WBG engagements with MIGA and IFC
to scale-up and leverage greater resources.
Energy priorities are:
• Achieving universal access to reliable modern
energy: generation, transmission, electrifica-
tion, clean cooking solutions.
• Shifting energy systems to a more sustain-
able path: renewable energy, natural gas,
energy efficiency.
• Improving the investment climate for energy:
sector reform and governance, strengthening
utilities, enhancing investment framework
and encouraging private sector participation,
rationalizing subsidies.
Extractives: Technical Assistance lending,
advisory services, IFC investments and partner-
ship programs to pave the way for transparent,
responsible and productive development of
extractives industries. Extractives priorities are:
• Enhancing sustainability, transparency in
revenue management, inclusive job creation
and growth opportunities, and addressing
resource-related conflicts.
• Supporting the extractive industry through
investments/interventions by IFC and MIGA
such as early equity in mining and oil and
gas companies in fragile states, promoting
domestic companies and developing trans-
formational projects.
• Knowledge sharing and exercising a con-
vening role with a view to promoting a best
practice approach to sustainability.

Sustainable environment and natural resources
management (ENRM) is at the heart of the
WBG’s poverty agenda. Biodiversity and natural
resources constitute the social safety net of the
poor, representing a food bank and often their
only source of livelihood. For example: 47%
of the GDP of India’s rural poor comes from
natural resources, while wild-capture fisheries
constitute 40% of total animal protein intake
for countries in West Africa and sustain over 3
million people.
Sustainable ENRM promotes a green, clean, and
resilient world where natural resources – from
forests to fisheries, freshwater, oceans, and eco-
systems – are managed to support livelihoods
and strong economies. It shares prosperity by
transferring wealth from downstream bene-
ficiaries of ecosystem services to upstream
communities who carry the opportunity costs
of protecting nature. It reverses the grow-
ing trend of urban areas becoming unlivable
because of waste disposal problems and air,
landscape, and water pollution that threaten
human health and labor productivity. It builds
good environmental governance supported by
credible institutions, coherent policies, and the
capacity to implement them.
Sustainable ENRM builds a world better pre-
pared for shocks and global challenges, helping
countries limit their exposure to more-fre-
quent natural disasters, more-volatile weather
patterns, and the long-term consequences of
climate change. It prevents ecological collapse
and the large-scale descent into poverty and
conflict that would follow.
The Environment & Natural Resources
Global Practice has three broad and dis-
tinct functions:
1. Provides clients with lending and
non-lending services aimed to support (i)
sustainable natural resources manage-
ment with focus on forests, fisheries, bio-
diversity, watersheds, coastal areas, and
oceans; (ii) pollution management; and (iii)
environment, natural resources manage-
ment, and climate change policy reforms.
2. Works closely with other sectors, including
by leveraging GEF grant financing, to main-
stream environmental considerations into
their policies, strategies, and operations
and address policy, governance, and infra-
structure failures that lead to boom and
bust economies.
3. Provides technical input to other sectors
to implement the Bank’s environmental
(safeguard) policies and ensure develop-
ment interventions do no harm.
Global Engagement
• The Pollution Management and Environmen-
tal Health Program targets communities and
cities to improve the health of their vulnerable
populations.
• The Program on Forests supports catalytic in-
vestments in forest governance, forest health and
knowledge management to build strong local
economies and deliver sustainable livelihoods.
• The Global Partnership for Oceans drives
growth through investments in ocean health.
• The Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Eco-
system Services Partnership supports natural
capital accounting in countries to inform more
sustainable decision-making.
• The International Consortium for Combatting
Wildlife Crime invests in credible institutions
with the capacity to implement good policies.

Resilient, efficient, and transparent financial
systems are essential to promoting a strong
economy, ending extreme poverty, and building
shared prosperity. By maintaining a healthy
financial system, an economy can mobilize the
capital it needs for investments in its develop-
ment priorities – infrastructure, industry, and
social services – and in its people. The following
issues are of high importance:
• For the 2.5 billion adults lacking access to
a bank account, universal financial access
through formal, regulated accounts offers
them the ability to reduce their vulnerabilities
to financial shocks and save for their future.
• Millions of small enterprises need urgent ac-
cess to credit, equity investment, and “angel
financing” to expand their businesses and
become more competitive.
• Robust banking systems and capital markets
are needed to ensure that capital flows effi-
ciently toward its most productive uses, and
that governments and firms can raise invest-
ment capital.
• Payment systems provide critical access to
vital services and can reduce governments’
costs of delivering benefits and salaries.
• Insurance helps prevent people from falling
into poverty when they face catastrophic
losses and insures them against unimaginable
losses.
• A transparent and well-governed global finan-
cial system can better manage crises, main-
tain cross-border cooperation, and curb illicit
financial activities that can impede growth.
The Finance & Markets Global Practice – an
integrated World Bank Group practice– de-
livers tailored development solutions with
WBG financial, knowledge and convening
services. The F&M GP implements compre-
hensive solutions that integrate World Bank
services (loans/credits, guarantees, and
risk-management products) and IFC services
(advisory services and investments in pri-
vate-sector firms). For example:
• In Colombia, programs are being devel-
oped to fund infrastructure and housing
needs, increase financial inclusion, and
revamp financial oversight. In a joint IFC-
Bank initiative, a Development Policy Loan
is being prepared, as well as a Program-
matic Approach to mobilize US$2 million in
advisory services, including a “Deep Dive”
for capital market development.
• In the MENA region, a joint World Bank-IFC-
CGAP MSME Facility is being implemented,
providing timely support to countries such
as Egypt and Jordan.
• A G20-endorsed WBG initiative – the Finan-
cial Inclusion Support Framework (FISF)
– is being scaled up to help countries meet
their financial inclusion targets.
• Countries are receiving help to prevent vul-
nerabilities and increase financial stability
through Financial Sector Assessment Plans
(delivered jointly with the IMF).
Global Engagements
• The Consultative Group to Assist the Poor is a
global partnership to advance financial inclusion.
• Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative supports in-
ternational efforts to end safe havens for corrupt
funds.

Why is this important

Sound governance and effective institu-
tions are essential to achieve shared pros-
perity and sustained reductions in pover-
ty. A rapidly-growing body of analytic work
demonstrates that there are clear linkages
between good governance and the quality
of health and education services, and
that the poor often suffer disproportion-
ately from lack of alternatives. Countries
capable of controlling corruption are able
to use their human and financial resources
more efficiently, with fewer losses and
distortions. They are able to attract higher
levels of foreign and domestic investment
and, on average, grow more rapidly.
Recent years have brought some remark-
able successes. In Minas Gerias, Brazil, for
example, improvements in public man-
agement resulted in a rise in elementary
school reading levels from 65% to 89%
between 2007 and 2012. In spite of these
successes, clients still face significant
challenges in building the systems and
capacities required for effective delivery
in diverse governance environments. In a
recent survey, over half of 129 developing
and transition countries failed to imple-
ment most of their policies. Governments
recognize their essential role in resolving
the complex and interconnected chal-
lenges in sectors such as health, social
protection, education and security. They
also recognize the need to build states
capable of weathering financial, natural,
or other disasters.
The Governance Global Practice brings together
professionals in procurement, financial management,
taxation, public management, regulatory policy, trans-
parency, digital governance, law and development,
anticorruption, and social accountability to develop
innovative, integrated solutions to pernicious institu-
tional problems. The practice utilizes a problem-driven,
diagnostic approach, combining global comparative
knowledge of reform successes and failures with keen
understanding of the institutional challenges and
opportunities of developing countries. Specifically, the
GGP provides support in:
• Sustainable Public Resource Management by im-
proving analytic and policy capacity in public finance;
strengthening the composition, management and re-
porting of public expenditure; and augmenting budget
and accounting systems and procurement processes
to ensure sustainable funding for public programs.
• Effective Service Delivery and Policy Implementa-
tion through strengthening both core agencies and
line departments. The GGP seeks to improve public
sector performance and effectiveness by supporting
reforms in public management, human resource man-
agement, performance monitoring, regulatory reform,
ICT solutions and innovative delivery approaches, and
other areas.
• Open and Accountable Governments by facili-
tating collaboration to foster social accountability
and citizen-centric development. This workstream
includes government transparency and responsive-
ness, strengthening key accountability institutions
(including parliaments and the judiciary), using
mobile technologies to monitor performance and en-
abling citizens to participate effectively in government
decision-making.

High levels of child, maternal, and adult mor-
tality – along with widespread malnutrition
and persistently high fertility – remain primary
constraints to development in too many coun-
tries. The rapid emergence of chronic illness
arising from changing life styles and popula-
tion aging is placing unprecedented demands
for more effective strategies to promote health
and nutrition across the course of life.
Fragmented and poorly functioning health
care systems deny opportunities for health
to the populations in greatest need; they
also impoverish 100 million people annually
due to payments made by those who fall ill.
Access to quality affordable health, nutrition
and population services is thus central to
ending extreme poverty and boosting shared
prosperity. This high return on investment
arising from mortality reduction in developing
countries has been estimated to account for
as much as 11% of economic growth. More-
over, nearly 24% of the growth in full income
between 2000 and 2011 - – which includes
national income accounts and the value of
additional life years – resulted from improved
life expectancy.
The Health, Nutrition & Population Global
Practice aims to accelerate progress towards
universal health coverage so that by 2030 no
one will be tipped into, or kept in, poverty
due to expenditure on health care, and the
poorest 40% of the population will have
access to essential health, nutrition, and
population services.
The HNP GP will work with governments, the
private sector and civil society, together with
other development partners to:
1. Establish systems for fair, efficient, and
sustainable financing of health.
2. Scale-up and strengthen person-centered,
front-line and facility-based services.
3. Harness the potential of other sectors
that contribute to HNP outcomes such as
agriculture,transport, social protection,
gender, education, and fiscal policy/taxa-
tion.
In working in these areas, the HNP GP will
source the best evidence globally to support
appropriate choice and effective implemen-
tation of solutions according to context.

The Macroeconomic and Fiscal Manage-
ment Global Practice is the home of the
World Bank Group’s family of country econ-
omists and macroeconomics experts, pro-
viding integrative development strategies,
policy-based lending, macro data, global
perspectives, real-time policy analysis,
country risk assessments, and innovative
projection tools.
Growth is a necessary, but not sufficient,
condition for poverty to fall, while inflation
is a sufficient, but not necessary, condi-
tion for poverty to rise. That is why a solid
macroeconomic framework is the bedrock
for ending extreme poverty and boosting
shared prosperity—without it, the WBG’s
strategic goals cannot be achieved.
Fiscal policies and management are the
mechanisms by which governments mar-
shal resources to deliver services like heath,
education, or infrastructure. It is at the core
of the social contract between the state
and the people, a contract without which
modern societies could not function.
As governments in developing economies
began to access funding in the global
financial market, or to receive rents from
natural resource discoveries, the macro-
economic challenges of turning those funds
into well-being for all citizens have grown
exponentially.
Macroeconomic decisions to tax, borrow,
and spend directly impact future genera-
tions. Public investment and public debt
are a way to transfer asset and liabilities to
a country’s children.
Solutions Based on Global Best-Practices
• Integrative development strategies, including
Systematic Country Diagnoses, Country Economic
Memoranda, Policy Notes Collections, and Global
Position Papers.
• A country-by-country understanding of what drives
economic growth, and a menu of policy options to
accelerate it.
• Comprehensive Public Expenditure Reviews that
detect trade-offs among competing sectoral prior-
ities.
• Country performance, risk monitoring, and sur-
veillance services that complement the work of
the International Monetary Fund with a long-term,
structural, and poverty focus.
• Debt management services, including for global
debt relief initiatives.
Transformational Financing
• Policy-based lending in support of multisectoral
reform efforts.
• Subnational financing: a tested battery of bud-
get-support lending, policy, and coordination tools
to address economic policy challenges at the state
and municipal levels.
• Funding and technical support for the construction
of national accounts and other survey-based mea-
surement tools.
Cutting-Edge Knowledge and Analytical Tools
• Practical advice on how to build consistent and
sustainable macroeconomic frameworks that align
fiscal, debt, monetary, exchange rate, financial,
trade, labor, and sectoral policies.
• Projection models to forecast the evolution of both
major macroeconomic aggregates and poverty and
equity indicators.
• Standardized, country-specific and cross-country
macroeconomic datasets.
• Just-in-time policy advice in response to unex-
pected external shocks, fiscal challenges, natural
resource discoveries, and other macro-level events.
• Analysis of tax and subsidy policies, public expendi-
ture incidence, intergovernmental fiscal transfers,
and monitoring and management of fiscal risks.

Despite progress in poverty reduction and
human welfare in the last decade, extreme
poverty and inequality persist at unaccept-
ably high levels in many parts of the world. To
eliminate extreme poverty and boost shared
prosperity, clients will need to address several
critical development challenges.
First, the last miles of ending extreme poverty
will be the hardest to achieve. Nearly 21%
of the world lives on under $1.25 per day—
around 1.2 billion people. In order to reach
the World Bank Group’s target of just 3%
extreme poverty by 2030, historical growth
trends have to be improved, particularly for
the poorest countries, and growth must bene-
fit the least well-off.
Second, past welfare gains have to be sus-
tained in the face of challenges posed by
slower global growth. This requires enhancing
the microeconomic foundations of shared
prosperity in developing countries, through a
focus on employment and productivity com-
plemented by effective social safety nets.
Third, progress on shared prosperity necessi-
tates equal access to opportunities. Many still
lack the basic resources required to succeed
in life. The benefits of globalization and
technological progress must reach the most
disadvantaged.
In order to meet these challenges, it is essen-
tial to use evidence to inform policy and hold
governments accountable for results.
The Poverty Global Practice delivers the
following:
• Advice and integrated knowledge to identi-
fy key policies and multisectoral solutions
that effectively reduce poverty and benefit
the less well-off, and to help better under-
stand the relationship between growth,
poverty, and inequality.
• Diagnostics to strengthen line of sight to
twin goals, focus country dialogue, and
shape World Bank Group advisory, financ-
ing, and convening services.
• Monitoring and evaluation of policies and
programs to enhance the poverty impact
of interventions and inform mid-stream
correction.
• Support for nationally-owned, transparent
systems and methodologies for tracking
poverty and other welfare outcomes.
• Capacity-building in countries and within
the WBG for analysis of distributional
impacts of policies and programs, and
monitoring of welfare.
• Innovative data collection and measure-
ment methods that can help fill crucial
data gaps.
• Global data portals and analytical ap-
proaches to support the analysis of pov-
erty, distribution, and micro-macro links
consistently across countries.
• Global leadership on poverty and shared
prosperity, and global outreach to share
ideas, knowledge, and lessons learned with
client and partner countries.

1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty.
Billions risk slipping into poverty due to shocks
– both systemic (natural disasters, economic
crises) and specific (such as job losses or ill-
ness). Well-designed modern social protection
systems are proven to be both effective and
efficient at lowering current and future poverty,
and to be flexible enough to buffer both system-
ic and specific shocks.
Today, more than 150 million people have
escaped extreme poverty thanks to social
protection alone. Direct social transfers reduce
immediate poverty and also help people exit
poverty by building capabilities (incentivizing
investments in education, health, and nutrition)
and allowing investment in productive assets
and activities. Inequality is also reduced by pen-
sions, unemployment insurance, disability al-
lowances, and the like, cushioning people from
impoverishing shocks, and by allowing them
better returns to work because of well-designed
labor market policies.
WBG is the largest provider of development
finance and solutions for social protection,
working with high-income, middle-income, and
low-income countries to develop country-tai-
lored solutions for specific social protection
challenges. These range from increasing the
efficiency with which social resources are
spent (where well-designed social safety net
programs, reformed pension reforms, and
integrated social protection systems are proven
solutions), to improving employment outcomes
through employability programs and associat-
ed policy reforms, often most effective when
targeted at the poor or the young.
The Social Protection & Labor Global Prac-
tice delivers operational approaches and
evidence-based solutions to help individuals
and families manage risk, cope with chronic/
transitional poverty, and access better liveli-
hoods and jobs. These include:
• Strategy, analysis, financing and design of
programs delivering social safety nets/so-
cial assistance in the form of cash transfers,
public works programs, and fee waivers.
• Advisory and analytical services on design
and delivery of contributory transfers (in-
cluding old-age pensions, unemployment
insurance, disability and survivor benefits),
and their fiscal sustainability (including
budget support for transitions).
• Analysis, design and delivery of labor mar-
ket and youth employment programs (with
a focus on supply side interventions and
intermediation policies), as well as policy
advice on labor market regulations and
interventions.
• Strategy, analysis, financing and design
of integrated social protection delivery
systems (e.g., payments, identification,
registries, systems assessments) as un-
derpinnings of effective social programs
that can help cope with climatic shocks or
underpin fiscal reforms.
Global Engagements
• The Social Protection Inter-Agency Coopera-
tion Board (SPIAC-B) works to align and harmo-
nize all multilateral and bilateral global partners’
work on social protection.
• The Rapid Social Response (RSR) Program
helps catalyze the building of social protection
systems.
• Coalition for Youth Employment Solutions
aims to develop practical evidence of what works
in youth employment.

More than 1.5 billion people – especially
women and young people – are jobless or
underemployed. Within 15 years, 600 million
new jobs must be created to keep up with the
surging global population. The private sector
must create 90% of those new jobs, and it will
be important in mobilizing capital for critical in-
vestments. A vibrant private sector is the most
important engine of economic growth, and thus
is a key driver of poverty reduction.
Strengthening a country’s position in trade and
competitiveness is critical to helping it achieve
sustained poverty reduction and boost shared
prosperity. By increasing trade, countries are
able to sustain high levels of growth, strong
private investment and vibrant productivity
growth. With globalization intensifying interna-
tional competition, countries must adopt poli-
cies that reduce trade frictions and transaction
costs, and they must facilitate investment and
the absorption of technology.
Countries aiming to attract investment and
spur business growth should look at the
regulatory barriers, monopolistic/anti-com-
petitive practices and bureaucratic procedures
impeding their business climate. Productivity
is the single most important factor in explain-
ing income differences among nations. Firm
productivity is determined by the efficiency of
input and output markets, competition, tech-
nology and innovation, and legal and regulato-
ry constraints.
The joint Trade & Competitiveness Global
Practice – combining World Bank, IFC and
MIGA – provides policy advice and lending
support to help client countries increase
trade and investment, improve productivity
and competitiveness at the national and
industry levels, and create an inclusive, com-
petitive private sector.
The T&C GP works with governments to
identify policies that promote growth, while
helping identify and remove impediments to
the smooth functioning of markets (such as
gaps in coordination, undersupply of public
goods, non-competitive market structures,
and regulatory constraints). A contributor to
shaping innovative development solutions,
the T&C GP provides:
• Policy advice on trade policy and integra-
tion, trade facilitation and logistics.
• Industry-specific competitiveness diagnos-
tics (e.g., agribusiness, manufacturing and
tourism) and spatial growth solutions (e.g.
growth poles and resource corridors).
• Innovation and entrepreneurship diag-
nostics; customized approaches to foster
gender and youth entrepreneurship; and
learning labs to test new technology-en-
abled ventures.
• Policy advice to improve the business
environment at the country and industry
levels, through strong legal and regulatory
environments, investment policy frame-
works, business taxation systems, and
policies that unlock constraints to market
competition.
• Cross-cutting trade and competitiveness
diagnostics and cross-thematic assess-
ments of constraints to private-sector-led
growth, bringing together skills from within
the T&C GP and other practices.

24. What do we deliver
to our clients?
Why is this important
to our clients?
24
Virtual and physical connectivity is a
critical factor of competitiveness and
economic growth. However, a third of
the world’s population lacks access to
an all-weather road, and two-thirds of
people in developing countries are more
than one hour away from a large city.
60% of the world’s population lack inter-
net access, and even where broadband
service is available, many of the poorest
cannot afford it. More and better invest-
ment in transport and ICT is needed to
end extreme poverty and boost shared
prosperity.
By facilitating the movement of people,
goods and information, Transport and
ICT enable economic and social develop-
ment, food security, and access to jobs,
health, and education services. Trans-
port is also at the heart of the Climate
Change solution, as one of the largest
emitters of greenhouse gases and energy
users.
Clients seek solutions to connect globally
and respond to growing mobility needs
of expanding populations, while keeping
other effects, such as car fatalities,
congestion, pollution, GHG emissions,
and digital divide, under control. As a
multilateral, multisectoral institution, the
WBG is uniquely positioned to support
large-scale transformational projects and
deliver innovative cross-cutting solutions
for connectivity. The WBG is the largest
provider of development finance for
transport globally, with an active port-
folio of $47 billion; 74% of Bank projects
include an ICT-related component.
The Transport & ICT Global Practice provides clients with
infrastructure and policies to improve connectivity and
competitiveness, link people to markets and social ser-
vices to stimulate economic growth, increase climate
resilience and reduce carbon footprint. These aims are
achieved through:
Financing Infrastructure
• Transport assets and corridors – rural and inter-urban
roads and highways, railways, ports, waterways, avia-
tion, logistics and trade facilitation.
• Urban transport – inclusive and “clean” transport
modes (public transport, walking/biking).
• Telecom/broadband infrastructure and disruptive
technologies (mobile internet, “internet of things”,
cloud, 3D printing).
• IT systems, applications and services to catalyze
greater impact in other sectors (digital IDs, cloud
computing, Open Data/Analytics, cyber security, and
citizen engagement tools).
Policy Advice
• Private participation in infrastructure financing.
• Road asset management; railways, ports, air transport
and urban transport institutional management; sector
reform; interurban connectivity; rural access, institu-
tions and governance to manage infrastructure and
the rolling stock; and road safety.
• IT/telecommunications policy, regulation and support
to IT-based industries.
Global Public Goods
• Network of experts (government CIOs network, sus-
tainable urban transport, citizen feedback using ICTs).
• Leading advocacy on issues, such as open data, inclu-
sive green transport, and road safety .
Global Engagements
• Global Road Safety Facility ($41 million since 2006)
• Africa Transport Policy Program ($17 million over
2014-16)
• Multi Donor Trust Fund on Sustainable Logistics
($2.5 million since 1013)
• Korea Trust Fund on ICT4D ($15 million)

In developing a vision for the new Urban,
Rural & Social Development Global Practice,
key statistics highlight priority development
challenges to focus on together with other
practices and CCSAs:
• Ending extreme poverty: 75% of the world’s
poor live in rural areas. At the same time,
1 billion people live in slums today and
poverty is urbanizing. 1.5 billion people live
in countries affected by repeated cycles of
violence. In the past decade, the number of
people affected by natural disasters tripled
to 2 billion.
• Boosting shared prosperity: Past rural
development efforts have not been enough
to address the rural poor’s vulnerability and
marginalization. Although 80% of GDP is
generated in urban areas, social exclusion
and inequality are rapidly growing in cities.
Since 1980, low-income countries have
accounted for only 9% of the disaster events
but 48% of fatalities. Increasing the resil-
ience of cities, villages, and communities
is critical because the burden of disasters,
conflict, crime, and violence falls dispropor-
tionately on the poor and the bottom 40% of
the population.
• Sustainability: 1 billion people are expected
to move to cities by 2030. The growth path
of cities, human settlements, and rural areas
has local and global implications for sustain-
ability and climate change. Ensuring that the
marginalized and vulnerable segments of
society have a say in defining their develop-
ment path is indispensable.
As the Urban, Rural & Social Development Global
Practice is established, it will work to define service
lines and platforms of engagement with other GPs,
CCSAs, and global partnerships (such as Global
Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, Global
Partnership on Output-Based Data, and others)
around the objective of helping clients build inclu-
sive, resilient, sustainable, and prosperous territo-
ries, cities, villages, and communities. Some of the
service lines to be reviewed and refined include:
• Social sustainability and safeguards; beneficiary
and citizen engagement.
• Local and decentralized institutions, municipal
finance and accountability.
• Disaster risk management, urban and social
resilience.
• Community-driven development.
• Integrated solutions for urban and rural infra-
structure and local services.
• Land tenure policy and administration, urban
planning and land use management, geo-spatial
planning tools, housing, informal settlements
upgrade.
• Social inclusion, with an emphasis on marginal-
ized groups, gender, and youth.
• Violence and conflict prevention and operational
response.
• Sustainable dimensions of urban and rural devel-
opment.
• National and regional territorial policy and local
development.
• Tourism and cultural heritage.
More importantly, the URSD GP will work with
other GPs and CCSAs through platforms of engage-
ment in: (i) social inclusion and sustainability; (ii)
mainstreaming resilience in all dimensions devel-
opment; (iii) territorial and rural development; and
(iv) urban planning, services and institutions. The
URSD GP will refine with other groups joint multi-
sectoral services in these platforms of support.

Why is this important

Access to services:
• Sustainable access to water supply and
sanitation, irrigation, energy, and many other
economic, social and environmental services
are vital for poverty reduction and economic
growth. Around 2.5 billion people lack access
to improved sanitation and 768 million lack ac-
cess to improved water supply. One in 3 of the
poorest 40% do not have access to improved
drinking water and 4 in 5 do not have access to
improved sanitation.
• Access to water services, along with better and
more equitable management of water resourc-
es, will benefit the poor through improved
health, greater access to electricity, higher
school attendance, more jobs and increased
food security. It will also make them less vul-
nerable to natural disasters.
Sustainable management of water resources:
• In addition to this basic access challenge,
many clients face growing water related chal-
lenges:
• Coastal cities could see $1 trillion in dam-
ages due to floods by 2050.
• By 2050, developing countries will need
to double food production with less water
allocated for irrigation.
• Energy demand will increase 35% by
2035, increasing water use by 15%.
• Degradation of water quality due to
poor water management is reducing the
amount of freshwater, degrading land,
impacting ecosystems and affecting the
health of millions of poor.
• Growing populations and economies, de-
clining water quality and increased climate
variability are putting water resources under
unprecedented pressure, and clients need
help to develop multisectoral solutions to
allocate and manage water sustainably.
Value Proposition: Ensure water is a reliable foundation
for poverty reduction and shared prosperity through the
delivery of public water “goods” coupled with private
initiatives to add value to water services throughout the
water cycle. This will be provided by helping clients:
• Increase their understanding of the role of water in
poverty reduction, equitable growth, and sustainabil-
ity.
• Better align supply and demand (including intersec-
toral water allocations).
• Identify appropriate options for development of water
laws, regulations, institutions, metrics and infrastruc-
ture.
• Develop stakeholder consensus for reform across
socio-economic, sectoral and geographic boundaries.
• Attract technical and financial partners to support
transformational investments in hardware and insti-
tutions.
Services: Water supply and sanitation services for
households and businesses; irrigation services to
intensify agricultural production and to raise rural
incomes; drought resilience and flood management for
climate change adaptation and managing uncertainty;
and conservation of quality freshwater resources and
ecosystems.
Products: Knowledge; technical assistance (institu-
tional /legal/regulatory support); financial and eco-
nomic analysis (assessment of trade-offs, investment
plan options); and implementation, supervision and
evaluation of investments.
Global Engagements
• The Water and Sanitation Program: Improved access
to WSS services and knowledge creation ( $235m).
• The Water Partnership Program: Improved WSS,
water resource management, climate resilience, and
green growth ($49m).
• Cooperation in International Waters (CIWA): Large-
scale trans-boundary investments in Africa ($71m).
• The South Asia Water Initiative (SAWI): Regional
cooperation in the Himalayan Rivers ($9m).

Why is this important

Unless measures are taken to reduce risks,
climate change is likely to undermine poverty
goals and exacerbate inequality for decades to
come:
• No country or business is exempt from the
threat of climate change.
• No country has fully internalized the costs of
climate change inaction.
The science indicates that global temperature
rise will bring widespread food shortages, ex-
treme flooding, droughts, and violent storms.
Every region will feel the impact, and those
least able to adapt - the poor and vulnerable
- will be hit hardest. In the poorest countries,
climate change will increase the cost of devel-
opment by 25 to 30%.
Impacts are expected to be regressive and
differential, affecting most significantly the
urban poor and highly vulnerable countries
in Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia, where
the number of exposed poor may reach 325
million by 2030 ( Shepard et al 2013). Across
all regions, the growing movement into urban
areas will lead to ever-higher numbers of
people who are vulnerable and living in slums.
72% of Africa’s urban population already lives
in low-lying informal settlements. They will be
increasingly exposed to heat waves, flooding,
mudslides, and disease.
The economic costs of extreme weather
events are stunning. Weather-related losses
and damage have risen from an annual aver-
age of about $50 billion in the 1980s to close
to $200 billion over the last decade. Clients
recognize that the sooner they factor climate
costs into economic planning, the sooner
they can manage risks and seize development
opportunities.
The Climate Change Cross-cutting Solutions Area’s
first priority is to ensure that solutions are fit-for-
purpose and that the CCSA is able to deliver the
best evidence of climate impact on the poorest,
the most valuable tools for all those working on
climate action, and the best assessment of climate
risk and opportunity for clients. The key question
will be how the Climate Change CCSA can make
the Global Practices, the regions, and external
clients successful in what they do by:
• Seeking to embed climate risk, opportunity, and
resilience into country strategies and internal
processes, learning, and knowledge.
• Developing climate indicators across the World
Bank Group and working to harmonize them
with partners.
• Delivering innovative products that enable cli-
ents to better assess and manage climate risk.
• Catalyzing climate action working where it
matters most.
• Focusing on climate smart agriculture, livable
low-carbon cities, renewable energy, energy
efficiency, and working with partners to advance
carbon pricing and harmful subsidy reform.
• Working the balance sheet, innovative treasury
operations, and in the markets, to mobilize
finance for low carbon growth and resilient
investments.
• Supporting international climate negotiations
and processes with data, evidence and invest-
ment strategies to ensure success.
Recognizing that climate finance must come from
both the public and private sectors, the Climate
Change CCSA is committed to making sure every
action is vital to helping the WBG achieve its key
goals. Alliances will be a critical part of success, as
the CC CCSA recognizes that the goals cannot be
achieved working alone.
